goran e...mate, how it is with riding in Bosna? I mean non pavement roads. Is it save, due to some explosives, which have been left by war from 1992 to 1995?

Thanks.

portugal as a lot to offer in terms of offroad riding. its not a big country, but great landscapes!

some of the track was quite hard, but not too much =P if the fat AT can climb them, also de lighter dakar will hehe

@twinie
thank you for the video link

@Heno
this year i am my fifth time in Bosnia many Km offroad, the frequented gravelroads are save, beside the roads it could be dangerous, watch for signs and ask locals when you are not sure about the track

Rear brake caliper- holding the brake pads?

I have a quick question regarding the facet pump. When I got my RD04 I did a complete rebuild before even really riding it (18klm to get her home and the project began). Part of the restoration process was to put the facet in. Anyway the question comes down to an overflow of fuel out of the float bowl ie the key on pump running but engine not running. I have heard that the 40105 facet pump has too much power and that there is another pump from facet that has less power, I'm not having buyers remorse about the pump but I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with the carbs that is allowing the fuel to be forced out the overflow hose? Now its not a lot of fuel but it is fuel coming out when its not supposed to, now I have learned to have the key off until needed, but I am just trolling to see if this has been seen and dealt with.

Thanks for the help
Keith
